EXERCISE 1
‣ We are going to validate an existing, finished product
‣ As a group, decide on a website or app to test
‣ It can be your app - I must be able to interact with it
Tip: avoid sites that require logging in (unless you have a login to share)

Note-taking brings down 2 barriers to testing: time & equipment
(But I’ll give you some tips on recording later!)

Note-taking tips
Only record what’s important
‣ If someone is really happy
‣ If someone is really frustrated
‣ If someone fails a task
‣ Write down short quotes if you can

Notes Example
• Taps Map on merchant profile but this opens the system Maps
app — confused
• Goes to Search and types “coffee shops” but there are no results
— “why can’t I see what’s around me?”
• "If I had to think about something around me, I’d start the
merchant profile and expect to see other things around me"
• The icons aren’t telling me that Cafe Nero is a coffee shop

Usability TestTime: 40 minutes
EXERCISE 3
‣ Every 8 minutes, swap one member of your group in exchange for a member from another group
‣ The ‘foreign’ member is the participant
‣ Start running through the test you’ve planned
‣ Everyone else in the group should be a facilitator and a note-taker at least once

What to do with all the data?
‣ Identify changes with the biggest impact & smallest effort as a team
‣ Find the “low-hanging fruit”
‣ What has impact on the bottom line?
‣ Put everything else in the ice-box

‣ As a group, debrief on each person’s notes
‣ Find 2 high, 2 medium, and 2 low-priority usability problems
‣ What will you fix first? Why?
‣ Jot down a quick summary of key findings to present to the larger group
